Studying in London was one my favorite things I have ever done. Past Review
By A student (Media Arts Studies, Brigham Young University) - abroad from 06/20/2012 to 08/01/2012 with
Study Abroad Programs in London
It was definitely worth going. I gained an appreciation for history and the struggles that people had in the past with wars happening so close to them.I also learned to appreciate other cultures and ways of looking at life from those who were from other countries.
